I only watched about 45 mins of the twitch replay. But, anyone complaining about stern ST rules can't not complain about the rules in alien. They look very similar; play one mission after another where the objective of most missions is chase the flashing arrow like ST.

Now don't get me wrong, ST is one of my favorite games as most of you know, and Alien looks fantastic!! I'm just saying the rules seem similar in that aspect of chase the flashing arrow.

Are the wizard modes based on completing the grid? Do you have to replay unfinished missions? If you're locked out of starting missions while in a multi ball, then what are your objectives to progress in the game? Seems like a lot of depth, but little breadth at this point.

Again, don't get me wrong with these comments as they're more questions and curious iTunes than anything; and I haven't played the game or completely understand the objectives yet, but the game is on my radar much more after that dead flip stream (thanks for streaming!). Which leads me to ask; who are the US distributors for Heighway?

All in all; game looks stellar so far. Wonderful job by Heighway and team.

Certainly you can see my argument that they are similar? all I could think of when I was watching the stream is how similar it looked to ST. Start a mission, shoot flashing arrows, start another mission, shoot a different pattern of arrows. I'm not saying it's bad, good, or indifferent; just an observation.

Ferret
are there rewards for completing a mission? And if you fail a mission, do you have to replay it or will it penalize you that objective in the wizard mode in some way shape or form? If the former, is there memory progression. Side note: the light show looks outstanding!

Lol That's fine. Just an observation. I'll defer to the programmer, step back into the shadows, and see how it all pans out.

Excellent!
